Simple and efficient isolation of DNA from insects, including mosquitoes, bees, lice, ticks, and D

• Also compatible with tough-to-lyse tissues from other organisms
• Ultra-high density BashingBeads™ are fracture resistant and chemically inert

The Quick-DNA™ Tissue/Insect Kits are designed for the simple and rapid isolation of DNA (e.g., genomic, viral, mitochondrial) from fresh, frozen, or stored insect specimens - including mosquitoes, bees, lice, ticks, and D. melanogaster. The procedures are easy and can be completed in minutes. All kits are compatible with mammalian tissues, whole blood, and cultured cells. Samples are rapidly and efficiently lysed by bead beating with our state-ofthe- art, ultra-high density BashingBeads™. The DNA is then isolated and purified using our Zymo-Spin™ technology and is ideal for downstream molecular-based applications including PCR, array, genotyping, etc.
